Aspose PDF throws error stamping some PDF files

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I’m using Aspose PDF 9.5.

The following error is thrown on the PdfFileStamp object AddStamp method.

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to
an instance of an object.
at Aspose.Pdf.Facades.PdfFileStamp.??¶(Stamp , Int32 )
at Aspose.Pdf.Facades.PdfFileStamp.??¶(Stamp )
at ERSClasses.MSDS2.PrintMSDS(Int32 listId) in C:\ers.Projects\Main\ClientInf
ormationSystem\ERSClasses\MSDS2.vb:line 392

The code causing that error is as follows:
Private _objStamp As New Facades.PdfFileStamp
Dim myFileStream As New FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open)
Dim myMemoryStream As New MemoryStream()
_objStamp = New PdfFileStamp(New Document(myFileStream))
_objStamp.Save(myMemoryStream)
Dim myText As New FormattedText()
myText.AddNewLineText(headerText)
Dim myStamp As New Facades.Stamp()
myStamp.BindImage(String.Format("{0}\whitebox.gif", _msdsPathBase))
myStamp.SetOrigin(0, 0)
myStamp.SetImageSize(_objStamp.Document.PageInfo.Width, 20)
_objStamp.AddStamp(myStamp)
_objStamp.Close()

Attached is one of the pdf files that throws the error

Hi there,


Thanks for your inquiry. It seems you are saving PdfFileStamp object before adding stamp so getting the issue please move save statement to end of the code as following. Hopefully it will help you to accomplish the task.


Private _objStamp As New Facades.PdfFileStamp<o:p></o:p>

Dim myFileStream As New FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open)

Dim myMemoryStream As New MemoryStream()

_objStamp = New PdfFileStamp(New Document(myFileStream))

'_objStamp.Save(myMemoryStream)

Dim myText As New FormattedText()

myText.AddNewLineText(headerText)

Dim myStamp As New Facades.Stamp()

myStamp.BindImage(String.Format("{0}\whitebox.gif", _msdsPathBase))

myStamp.SetOrigin(0, 0)

myStamp.SetImageSize(_objStamp.Document.PageInfo.Width, 20)

_objStamp.AddStamp(myStamp)

_objStamp.Save(myMemoryStream)

_objStamp.Close()
